VANTAGE POINT

Latest dEUS' release "Vantage Point" is one complicated review, the fact is that i like it, i like it very much! But it is so inconsistent and has such weak points, not mentioning the fact that it couldn't get farther from progressive rock, that I can't help myself considering this a weaker effort than their previous one's.

The album starts off really bad, "When She Comes Down" is not the worst song ever, but, excluding the chorus, it is very uninteresting, but, "Oh Your God" is even worse, a straight forward rocker, with absolutely no melody, and quite annoying. The good thing is that the worst is over and we get four fantastic songs in a row, "Eternal Woman" is a quite different ballad for dEUS, but really really beautiful once it grows on you, then "Favourite Game", another grower, really cool mood and great moments. It is followed by "Slow", and this one great, atypical song, is my favorite on the album, such cool groove, such perfect lyrics, such epic moments, such good music, essential! And then you have "The Architect", this is mind-blowing funk, impossible not to sing along, and it is one fantastic song.

At last, I have to talk about "Popular Culture", this is absolutely fantastic, epic, gorgeous, cheerful, really majestic music, this is larger-than-life, this is dEUS!

Great album ,but not regular, and that's a shame, this is could've been so much!
